When a Pokémon with Synchronize is {{status|burn}}ed, {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}, or {{status|poison}}ed by another Pokémon, that Pokémon will be inflicted with the same [[status condition]]. Synchronize will not inflict {{status|sleep}} or {{status|freeze}}.
When a Pokémon with Synchronize is {{status|burn}}ed, {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}}, or {{status|poison}}ed by another Pokémon, that Pokémon will be inflicted with the same [[status condition]]. Synchronize will not inflict {{status|confusion}}, {{status|sleep}} or {{status|freeze}}.


Even if Synchronize would have no effect due to the other Pokémon already having a [[status condition]] or the other Pokémon's [[type]], [[Ability]], or team condition (e.g. {{m|Safeguard}}), it will still activate (revealing it as the Pokémon's Ability), but have no effect. Synchronize can affect a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}}. Synchronize can be activated by other Pokémon's Abilities, such as {{a|Static}}, but cannot be activated by the [[Toxic Orb]] or [[Flame Orb]].
